Around the House.

To wash knitted or crocheted
shawls or hoods, tie them up In
a towel and throw them in the
wash boiler. They do not then
fray out into misshapen patterns
but are held compactly by the
towel when wrung out. Dry
them in the towel.
To save stair carpets, nail sew
eral thicknesses of old carpet or
canvas over the edge of each
stair. 1t is good plan to buy
more carpeting than is needed
to cover the stairs, ard move it
each season, so that the whole
will wear evenly. If stair car
pets cannot be changed in this
way they will not wear nearly
so long.
To prevent shrinkage in tian-
nels, use quite warn, soft water
for washing. Make the suds of
soft soap, or shaved bar soap,
and turn the garment before wet
ting them. Squeeze. rather than
rub out the dirt; rinse In plenty
of warm water, and quickly. II

Prohibition Decision.

The United States supreme court
has decided favorably to the Kansas
prohibitionists in the case of the State
of Kansas VS.. Mugler and the same
against Zinboldt and Others, long
mooted question as to whether the
statutes of that state are in conflict
with the fourteenth amendment to
the constitution which provides that
ssno state shall make or enforce any
law which shall abridge the privileges
and immunities Of the citizens OF the
United States, nor shall any state de-
prive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process OF law"
The principal point made in the
case by the defendants and plaintiffs
in error was "That although state
may prohibit the manufacture of in
toxicating liquors for sale within its
limits for general use, no convention
or legislature has the right under our
form of government to prohibit any
citizen from manufacturing for his
own use, or for export or storage, any
article of food or drink not endanger-
ing or affecting the rights OF others. !"
The court says "That the right to
manufacture drink for ones Personal
use is subject to the condition that
such manufacture does not endanger
the rights of Others" that the power
to determine this fact is lodged with
the legislative branch of the govern
ment and belongs to that department
to exert in what are known the po-
lice power of the state. In answer to
the proposition that the prohibition
of the manufacture and sale of liquor
deprives the liquor dealers OF their
property without due process of law,
the court says: "All property under
our form of government is subject to
the obligation that It shall not be
used so as to injuriously affect the
rights of the community" and then
goes on to tell how such rights are
affected. The court thinks the legis
lature has not exceeded the limits Of
Its power and accordingly affirmed
the Judgment of the Kansas supreme
court Statesman.

AsroRIA (oR) PIONEER, DEC. /;
One of the vessels which arrived in
this week has a bar of iron on board
which weighs five or six pounds
which was towed astern five or six
weeks at sea as an experiment &c
test the statement that gold exists in
sea water. The bar was cleaned and
polished when it was placed in the
wake of the vessel, but when taken
on board it was literally covered with
film of silver, copper and gold pre-.
cipitated on it. This is a fact zorro,
bora'ed by scientific investigation
Late research has shown that gold
exists in appreciable quantities in the
waters of the ocean. A ton OF sea
water yields by a simple process q
grain of gold, so tina. the total guam
tity held in solution must be vastly
greater than all the gold ever yet ex.
tracted from the earth. Copper and
silver are, however, found in the sea
in larger quantities than gold. Sill
YER is found in combination with the
old and worn oopperings of ships to
such an extent as to make it worth
while to extract it. 1t has been
computed from some analysis of such
copper, compared with the total dis
lance run through by the ship and the
time OF its remaining attached, that
at least 100000 tons of silver are
thus held in solution in the whole
ocean.

The LAST SPIKE.-F. l.. Vanden-
burgh, superintendent Of the South
ern Pacific Co.'s telegraph lines, has
arranged to connect the driving of the
last spike of the Oregon and Califor-
MIA railroad with wires all over the
entire coast. The last spike will be
driven by Col. c. T. Croker at Ash
land, Or, at 2:30 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, Dec. 10th. Wires running
north to Portland and south to Sacra-
mento and San Francisco will be
connected with the hammer so that
blows are made on the spike, which
latter will also be connected with
wires in all towns along the coast
where the inhabitants desire to make
connecting arrangements, the electric
current can be transmitted so as to
ring bells and fire guns, announcing
the final completion of the great
northern coast railroad.
The driving will consist of three
blows on the spike at intervals Of ten
seconds, each blow closing the tele-
graphic circuit. AS each blow is
made and announced at distant sta
tons, the Geographic managers will
acknowledge the same, and after the
third tap the word "done," will be
transmitted from Ashland notifying
all points that the great work has at
last been completed. Supernten-
dent Vandenburgh has also sent out
instructions to have all weather re-
ports forwarded to him at Ashland
early in the day so that he may be
enabled to better Judge what arrange
ments it will be necessary for him to
make for successful telegraphic trans
mission of the fact of the driving OF
the last spike. The initial train with
General Superintendent Fillmore and
party, will leave San Francisco at
o'clock Friday afternoon and will
reach Ashland about noon the fol-
lowing day. Many of those who
took part at the driving of the last
spike of the overland road have made
arrangements to be present on this
ocoasion.-[S. f. Alta, 9th.

that comes from these qualities, it is
the privilege Of your life to perform
all your duties under its influence

Private Bills.

| ~ tAo piSsSHs SCsston VI OOhS ioS'
a strong effort will be made to have
a rule adopted to prohibit the intro
ducticn Of private bills in open SEES
sion of the House of Representatives,
and to require that all measures shall
reach the appropriate committees
through the medium of petition
/ box. Such rule would effect saw
! ing of time to the house and of ex-
pense to the government. At pres
en-: 1900 copies of every bill intro
duced are printed. Should the pro-
posed rule be adopted, no private bill
will be printed until it is acted upon
by the committee and reported to the
house for consideration.
This proposition does not possess
the merit of novelty, for it has been
mooted again and again; but it does
possess the virtues of economy of
time and money, and Of plain common
sense to an eminent degree. Inas-
much as the introduction OF every
private bill is followed by its refer
ence to committee, the only pur-
pose served by its introduction
in open house is buncombe. 1t
gives a member, especially a new
one, chance to impress his constitu-
ents with the idea that he is wonder
fully Jealous in their interests, and it
also gives him chance to see his
name in print; and that is about all.
Ii the constituent would be satisfied
with the introduction of a bill, it
would be all right to introduce them
all at once, and then put quietus
on the whole lot and then get down
to business; but he is not SO easily
satisfied. He has an idea that when
his bill is introduced everything else
is laid aside and the wheels of gov
eminent stopped until that bill is
passed; or il not, he cannot see why
not.
1t is time to undeceive the guile
less constituent. He must learn that
the chances Of the passage of pri-
vate bill are about l in 10000, and
especially that no such bill ever pass
es over the adverse report of the
committee TO which it had been re.
ferrcd. II he can cnce get these
ideas firmly lodged in his inner con.
seriousness he will see that the intro
duction of his pet measure in the
house is nothing but an empty form
which can be ust as well omitted, anc
that the fate of his private bill is t,
be settled in committee. Under
standing this he will not care how i
gets to the committee, and will no
insist on the time of the house being
occupied and the money of the gov
eminent being spent in useless pa
rade.
If new member goes to Congress
primed with speech in behalf of
private bill in which he must mail t.
his constituents, rule might b
adopted allowing him to print it a
his own expense, and, as the children
say, play he delivered it on the foo
of the house. 1t will please the con
stituents just as well, and will pre-
duce ust as much effect on the hous
as if he actually stood up and spoke
his little piece, and public time an
money will be saved.-[S. f. Chron

Louisiana Salt Mine.

One of the visitors explained to
Mr.. Ely that there was belt OF salif-
erous deposit in Louisian extending
from Bossier and Bein1ille parishes,
above Red river to the gulf. The
largests OF these deposits appears to
be the beds of ancient exhausted
lakes. Salt springs were known to
exist OH Petite Ause Island from the
earliest date, but the works were
abaftdoned until the blockade during
the war raised the price of salt so
high in the southern states, that Maj.
Avery reopened them for the use of
the Confederacy. 1t was at this
time that he came unexpectedly upon
the enormous stratum of pure rock
salt, which underlies the soil. Like
the island of Ormuz in the Persian
gulf, Petite Anse is apparently only
huge rock of salt.
The mines have now been in opera
ton about twenty years. The salt is
excavated in large masses by blast
ing with dynamite. 1t is SO pure
that it is prepared for market, not by
melting and refining as in the En-
glish mines, but simply by grinding
into the requisite grades of fineness.
The native crystals detached by
blasting are as clear and translucent
as glass. Mr.. Ely went down into
the mine and wandered through its
far retreating corridors, whose pillars
and lofty arches shone with soft
silvery radiance. When the light
from the torches struck into the dark
ness overhead, the domes flashed
back such splendors of color that i,
seemed to Mr.. Ely as if he had one
of the caves underground where the
Trolls had stored all the jewels of the
world.
"This is all surprise to me-" said
one of the visitors-a stout professor
from some college in Indiana-as he
stepped from the elevator into the
upper air. 81 actually did not know
there was salt mine in the United
State"
"And yet" said the guide, quickly
"You have no doubt used our salt OF
your table for years. We ship it te
every large town in the north ane
west."- Harper's Magazine.

DEEr SUGAR AT Two CENTS
PouSp.-We have some interesting
figures from Germany, showing at
what price sugar is now being manu-
featured in sixty-four first class fac
tories, are reported by the association
of Oderbruch and Pomerania. To
think that it Is possible by existing
improved appliances to extract 1871
per cent sugar from the beet, and an
additional 0.65 per cent frotd the mo-
iasses, or total of 1896 pounds per
100 pounds of beets, is calculated to
cause thrill OF satisfaction in the
breasts of Americans who contend for
the best welfare of their country.
The cost Of this sugar was only two
two cents per pound. These, how
ever, are actual facts, aud could, with
very little additional expense, be re-
peated in the United States. Unlike
sorghum sugar, of an unknown future
this beet sugar is placed on the
European market in quantities sufli.
oient for the entire American con.
sumption. We only have to follow
the example given us, to become the
masters and not the slaves of the
worlds sugar trade. Why these
great opportunities are neglected re-
mains mystery to those who have
the oountry's industries truly at heart
